C07, Eldercaring Coordination: Who, What, Why, Where, When NOW! – Michelle Morley (Non CME)

What is eldercaring coordination? Why do we need it? Who will do it? Where, when and how? The Florida Chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts convened twenty statewide organizations which developed Guidelines for Eldercaring Coordinators in 2014. Pilot sites are developing in circuits across the state to study the implementation of the process and guide its development as a valuable resource for high conflict cases involving the care and safety of an elder. Qualifications of eldercaring coordinators will be reviewed as well as the composition of the training program and implementation of pilot sites. Learn more about this new process to reduce discord regarding an elder loved one, and promote healing for a family in transition at this most vulnerable time. Potential benefits as well as possible barriers that may limit its progress and will be discussed.
